CHRISTINE FIZZANO CANNON, Judge Beck v. Unemployment Comp. Bd. of Rev. (Pa. Cmwlth., No. 459 C.D. 2013, filed September 11, 2013). This Court declines to consider Claimant’s final argument that the “Board’s decision to deduct from [Claimant’s] Social Security benefits to recover previously approved funds violates fundamental due process principles and conflicts with 43 P.S. § 874, which prohibits unjust enrichment . . . .” Claimant’s Br. at 8. Claimant cites a non-existent case to support her position that “[t]he premature recoupment of benefits before a final determination is contrary to Pennsylvania precedent,” and her reliance on Section 874 of the UC Law, 43 P.S. § 874, is misplaced. IN THE COMMONWEALTH COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA Nancy Parkinson, : Petitioner : : v. : : Unemployment Compensation : Board of Review, : No. 1776 C.D. 2024 Respondent : ORDER AND NOW, this 7th day of April, 2026, the November 26, 2024 order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review is AFFIRMED. __________________________________ CHRISTINE FIZZANO CANNON, Judge
